At the end of the guide, users will be able to download the collected information as a pdf or word document, which can be saved together with the assessed video, or shared with other researchers or experts to aid with further investigations.

Please note that this assessment tool is geared towards YouTube videos. However, the basic steps and methodologies used here can be applied to any video.

First things first: Have you archived the video you are assessing?

Videos on YouTube - or in fact entire channels - regularly disappear from YouTube, making any potential evidence useless for future human rights research or advocacy if not preserved. Before moving on, please consider saving the video - for the purpose of preservation only.
